I stayed in the Cairo version of the Wukang Building. Hahaha, there are actually many buildings like this in Cairo, and they all tell of the former glory. The room was very clean, and for a price of more than 200 yuan, what else would you want? The owner was also nice. The address is great, and it takes 5 minutes to walk to the Egyptian Museum. You can also experience the airport bus (Route 356) starting point is under the overpass next to the museum.

The worst hotel in Egypt, I was fooled by the reviews. I thought of a simple accommodation for my last night in Egypt, but apart from the location, it really had no merit! ! Be sure to avoid lightning! ! It is located on the third floor of an old house, and the hotel elevator is ancient (just take it as a feeling). But when I stepped into the hotel on the third floor, there was a strong smell of body odor. At first I thought it was a staff member, but later I found out that the smell filled the entire hotel. I wonder if it was a certain local incense (this taste is amazing). Talking about the room, Ctrip shows it is 40m, but in fact it is up to 25m. The toilet was temporarily built in the room. The lights in the corridor were not turned off at night. The road downstairs was noisy until 2.3 a.m. and there were blood spots on the sheets! ! Before leaving, he even asked us to give him a good review! ! Is this how all the good reviews on Ctrip come about? It's so bad that I didn't even bother to take a photo to complain, so just take a look (the big yellow wall in the picture is the constructed toilet). But please believe me that the descriptions are true.

Very nice B&B. Although the conditions are not the best compared to star hotels, the price/performance ratio is high. Because it is located in the center of the city and surrounded by old towns, the environment is relatively poor, but the boss is very enthusiastic and the service is very satisfactory. The location is very convenient. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to the Egyptian Museum and the Nile River. There are many delicious food downstairs. If you want to visit the pyramids or other scenic spots, you can ask the boss to arrange a chartered car and a professional tour guide to accompany you. The cost is relatively reasonable and the service is good. The boss has a good sense of service and the guy at the front desk is also nice. The boss is preparing to expand his business and is renovating new rooms. Will come again next time I come here.

The room is very aesthetic! Not far from the go bus station, you can walk to the Egyptian Museum, and there are many interesting shops downstairs. The boss is nice! I praise the boss! There is free WiFi, and the speed is OK. Friends said that the facilities are not very good, the shower head and the base are not matched, the toilet door is not easy to lock, and the floor is a bit noisy when walking😂

This is a homely hotel on one floor in a nostalgic building. The elevator has a manual door, and the rooms are spacious with high ceilings. The owner arranged for us to pick you up from the airport, a guide for the Kiz Pyramids, and a driver. Great location.
